  • The Van

    On this episode we re-read Roddy Doyle’s, The Van.

    Shortlisted for The Booker prize, it is the last novel of his superb trilogy about the Rabbitte family of North Dublin. Two old friends who are down on their luck and short on options decide that fast food might be the best way to make some fast cash! So Jimmy and his best friend Bimbo buy an old fish and chip van and go into business in Dublin, in the 1990’s … but not everything goes exactly to plan.


    An ingenious look at the triumphs and indignities of family life, wonderfully funny, touching with a lot of grease thrown in.


    We hope you will enjoy!
